The main environment that she decided to work on is the floating mangrove island. The island was already built, and the mangrove oak trees had already grown, but that was not the only thing that she wanted to incorporate onto the island. She wanted to have plants, creatures, and if she designed a monster, a monster. But for now, she would circle through each major environment placing the plants, adding the creatures, and summoning and creating monsters.

In reality, Amy did not have a lot of plants that were meant to be above water or would work in the environment that she imagined the mangrove floating island would. Since there are limited options, it means that she has to experiment.

Amy already had a couple of ideas about what to experiment with, like the spiral orchid seed and the water pad pod.

In her mind, the island needed more flowers. Unfortunately, there were very few flowering plants within the dungeon that she could potentially cross-breed the orchid with. As Amy searched throughout the floors, she spotted one that would be perfect, the crystalline seagrace.

The crystalline seagrace was a marine grass that flowered, and it had the influence of the will of a crystal. So if she could cross-breed or take traits from the seagrace to the orchid, then she would be happy with the results.

The first experiment was with an orchid seed and the seagrace. Amy took two mana strings, inserted them into the plants, and started circulating the strings around a small section of seagrace, and the other was circulating around the seed. After a bit of this circulation, she took the end of the mana string from the seagrace and inserted it into the orchid seed. With it inserted, Amy started pushing the mana string from the seagrace into the seed itself.

As the string was added to the seed, it started to glow slightly. After the mana string was entirely inside the seed, the glowing stopped. Amy took this as a sign that whatever happened ended, and it was time to see her new plant.

She took a tiny amount of the fertile soil from the ground, placed it in a small nook on one of the mangrove trees, placed the new seed in it, and started growing it.

The seed started growing three vines that dangled down to the ground and were attached to each other at the beginning of the plant, where the roots started. As the vines grew, a large flower started to grow right where the three vines were attached. The flower that grew at the base of the vines was a lot larger than the spiral orchid flower. It was around 30 centimetres in length and was very delicate looking. The petals of this flower were a light periwinkle colour and looked very delicate but were secretly very sturdy. It seemed that the flower took the crystalized aspect of the crystalline seagrace and made the flowers a lot more sturdy than a regular flower.

Along with the large flower, the three vines started growing flowers that got smaller the further down the vine it went. When the vines stopped growing, the flowers on the vines were ten centimetres on the top and went all the way down to one centimetre in length.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

When it stopped growing, Amy pulled up its description.

Crystalline Flowing Flower

A type of flower with one central flower produces multiple vines that support many smaller flowers. The purpose of the large central flower is to produce the seeds. All of the flowers have a certain sturdiness due to crystalline petals that make the flowers a lot sturdier and less likely to be damaged.

With great results, Amy decided to share traits from one thing to another with all of the plants that she originally wanted to be on the floating island. The plants that she decided on were the glowing moss, spiral orchid, hanging pitcher plant, hanging moss, arctic moss, and two aquatic plants, the crystalline seagrace and water pad pod.

Through doing this a bunch of times, with a bunch of different combinations, Amy was satisfied with the end results, and she pulled up the descriptions for all of her new plants.

Hanging Umbrella Vines

A type of vine with a very solid and robust leaf shaped like an upside-down umbrella that hangs down from the vine and is attached to the vine in the middle of the leaf. This leaf can grow very large and can collect water in the bowl-like leaf.

Glowing Orchid

A species of orchid that produces a faint glow in the shadows.

Sticky Hanging Moss

A type of moss that produces a sticky substance that can trap insects and small mammals onto it.

Chilled Grass

A species of grass with a resistance to cold weather can be used in cold resistance potions.

Freezing Pitcher Plant

It is a type of hanging carnivorous plant that lures and freezes its prey with ice mana.

Water Grass

A type of grass that is common around large bodies of water.

Arctic Orchid

A rare species of orchid that thrives in chilly and cold environments. The flowers of this plant can be used in different types of potions.

Travelling Vine

A species of vine that will continuously grow across canopies and will only stop when there is not enough space to sustain it.

Rock Moss

A species of moss that grows in a spherical shape. It has taken on the traits of a rock, and as it grows, it gets harder and harder.

With ten new plants and the original five plants that she already had, Amy decided that it was time to grow them all over the floating island.

As she placed everything, the floating mangrove island started to really have that forest, somewhat tropical look. The flowering plants were all blooming and hanging and growing off of the trees. Along the ground was where most of the moss and the chilled grass grew. The vine species that she now had were also making their home within the canopy of leaves.

With satisfaction about how the mangrove floating island turned out with the plants, Amy turned her attention and started working on the rainfall forest.
